Using the Quiz Module

The Quiz Module in FluentCommunity lets you test your students' knowledge easily. You can add quizzes to any course to reinforce key concepts and check comprehension — making your courses more fun and more effective.

This guide shows you how to set up and add quizzes to your course.

Configure Quiz Settings

The right side of the quiz editor holds your settings panel. This is your control center for how the quiz behaves for your learners.

  • Enable Video Embed: Show a video at the top of your quiz page.

  • Set a passing grade: Turn this on to require a specific score to pass. Enter the required percentage (for example, type 80 for 80%).
  • Hide answers on result page: Keep the correct answers hidden after a student finishes the quiz. This is useful if you let students retake the test.
  • Featured media: Paste a video URL (YouTube, Vimeo) into the Embed tab, or paste code into the Custom HTML Code tab to place a video at the top of the quiz.
  • Lesson Duration: Enter the expected time in minutes and seconds it will take a student to complete the quiz.
